We have this thing you might have heard of, it's called the intarweb or some such thing like that. The thing is, people write things and put them up on that intarweb thingy and you can read them and stuff for free, mostly. You can find out all sorts of stuff that you'd never have been able to before, all without leaving home.
Are you quite finished now?

As for "racial undertones", puh-lease. Limbaugh is far from a racist,

It's nice to know that you are in touch with Rush Limbaugh on such an intimate basis. Sorry, but you had that coming. Consider:

Rush: Did you ever notice how all composite sketches of criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?

Rush (to a black caller): Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.

I'm not saying that these quotes make him a racist. Nor did I make that claim in my original post. What I did say is that there's a great deal of racial undertone in his ESPN statement. Maybe it's a racist remark, maybe it's not, but that's how it's been interpreted pretty much the length and breadth of the sports world. And to say that someone has been promoted strictly on the basis of his race is simply inviting scrutiny and leaves the speaker's motives and opinions wide-open for question and criticism.
Spin it how you like, but Rush has a history of making racially insensitive, if not overtly racist, comments - and this will most likely be regarded as one of them.

This is hardly Arnold's "Paula Jones moment," merely a last-ditch attempt to de-rail his campaign with some silly old gossip with absolutely no proof.

Exactly: it's his Paula Jones moment. So glad you agree.
